What color is Benjamin Moore Brush Blue?

Benjamin Moore Brush Blue CW-675 is a deep, muted blue-gray with a distinctly cool cast. Its charcoal-like depth keeps the blue restrained, so it reads more like a weathered slate tone than a bright nautical blue. In daylight, Brush Blue can show its subdued blue character, while lower or warmer lighting may draw out its smoky gray side. It has enough visual weight for a study, dining room, or exterior trim, and it can also make cabinetry feel grounded without looking black. Pair this shade with soft off-whites, pale gray stone, natural oak, or aged brass for contrast that keeps the palette clear and measured.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 9.76%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
